, whose slogan has been "at 10 it's news, at 11 it's history," is adding a new chapter to that history book. WXMI-TV on June 2 will launch an 11 p.m. news program seven days a week, anchored by Mitch Fick and Ann Marie LaFlamme Mondays through Fridays. Fox 17's Dave Spencer will anchor on Saturdays and Michele DeSelms will be at the desk on Sundays. The station even is poking a little fun at itself with a new promo spot for the

that opens with the old slogan and then says, "We changed our mind." Not everything is changing. West Michigan's FOX-TV affiliate isn't giving up on its 10 p.m. nightly news that debuted in January 1999 with a 30-minute broadcast that expanded to an hour-long program five years later. But more changes are on the way. WXMI-TV also unveiled plans to add a 4 p.m. news show in the fall on a date to be announced later. Once the 4 p.m. show debuts, the Tribune Media-owned station will air eight hours of news Monday through Fridays. WXMI's morning news first debuted in August 2006. Two years later the show expanded to four hours from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Since February 2013, FOX 17 Morning News has aired seven days a week. FOX 17 News at Six debuted in September 2009, and FOX 17 News at Five was launched two years later. “We’ve expanded quite a bit over the years," said FOX 17 news director Brooks Blanton. "We’re proud to broadcast more local news than any other station in the market.” Fick, a sports reporter, and LaFlamme, a general assignment reporter, both are currently on the FOX 17 news staff. Fick, a native of Iowa, joined WXMI in September 2012 as a general assignment reporter before switching to sports in June 2013. LaFlamme, a native of Rochester Hills, formerly was an anchor at WWTV/WWUP 9&10 News in Northern Michigan. The Central Michigan University graduate moved to Grand Rapids in March 2013 to join at FOX 17. FOX 17 General Manager Patty Kolb said it's an exciting time for the station serving Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Battle Creek. “We continue to look for ways to better serve our audience and community," Kolb said. "Adding an 11 p.m. newscast as well as a 4 p.m. newscast later in the year is a really big step in that regard.”
